Cheng Chun was not surprised by this answer. She smiled and nodded, then looked back at the guard standing not far away and waved to him.
The guard came over quickly: "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Kick that person out, then go to her house to pick up the three children and hand them over to the ladies who are looking after the children!" Cheng Chun looked at the guards and explained softly.
The guard responded and hurried to drive the person out.
The woman was still quarreling with Hongdou, but she immediately turned pale when she saw the guard, thinking that Chengchun was really going to take her to prison. When the guard grabbed her by the hand and dragged her away, she cried and
It was so noisy that the whole room was filled with her voice.
It wasn't until the guards took the person out that he calmed down a little.
Seeing that the man's eyes were red, Cheng Chun showed him the wound and comforted him: "You don't have to be too sad. Your wife is probably afraid that we won't treat you..."
"Madam, there is no need to comfort me!" the man said helplessly, "My first wife and I grew up together. When we gave birth to a girl, the childbirth was difficult and I had to work to earn money. I really couldn't support her.
She is a living child. She is a widow in our village. She is an orphan. Her husband died before we got married and she was kicked out by her husband’s family! Because she always washes clothes and cooks for my family, she was brought together!"
Chengchun knew that the man felt aggrieved and wanted to talk, so he listened without interrupting him.
"In the beginning, she was very nice, took care of others, and was very considerate to me. Then one day, I was giving my son a bath and found that his butt was bruised from being spanked. I forced him to find out that she had been secretly
It’s not good for them!” The man shed tears as he spoke, “But I can’t help it, I have to work, otherwise everyone will be hungry!”
Chengchun listened and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long time, Chengchun just consoled him: "You are injured now, so don't worry about these things. Take good care of yourself. The healing of the wound is the most important thing!"
The man responded.
Chengchun said nothing more and turned around to leave.
There were a room full of injured people. When Chengchun was almost busy, it was already afternoon. It was not until this time that Chengchun could sit down and take a bite of food. Hongdou stood beside him and felt very distressed: "Madam, why don't you go back and sleep for a while? This is okay.
It’s so hard!”
"Then haven't you been busy all the time?" Chengchun pulled Hongdou to sit down, "Let's eat something first. I think they have basically nothing to do now. There shouldn't be much in the afternoon! Then, let's smoke
Let’s go take a look at the dam sometime!”
"What are you going to do there?" Hongdou said quickly, "The dam has collapsed, and something may happen again at any time. If you go there, what will you do if something happens?"
"I'm worried that someone was slightly injured and didn't come here and was delayed over there!" Chengchun took a sip of soup and then said, "They are all poor people. In order to earn some money, they can bear any pain. They
A day's work is a day's wages, and some people are afraid that their injuries may be minor, so they refuse to come here in order not to delay earning wages, fearing that something might happen if they are delayed!"
Hongdou was at a loss for words. This is not an uncommon thing. Farmers have been accustomed to suffering since they were young, and most of them don't care about minor injuries. But in the current weather, everything is very easy to rot, and people are very easy to get sick. If they are a little injured, they don't care.
, it’s not impossible for the fester to become big.
"Then I'll go with you. I won't let you go alone!" Hongdou looked at Chengchun with a firm look on his face.
Chengchun nodded: "Let someone prepare some herbal tea and mung bean soup that are refreshing and can reduce the heat. We will take them with us. The weather is very hot, so it would be good to cool them down!"
Red beans are naturally the answer.
Cheng Chun was a very resolute man, so since he said he wanted to go see it, he took a few people with him that afternoon and carried two buckets of soup to the dam.
The dam was originally washed away, but later one side collapsed, and the entire dam was in a mess. At first, it was full of debris, mixed with the muddy smell of the river, which was really unpleasant.
The faces of everyone who came with him changed.
Xu Shi, who was following Meng Shaoqing, happened to be supervising the work on the dam. From a distance, he saw several women carrying two big buckets walking over, so he ran over quickly. When he saw it was Cheng Chun, he was very surprised: "Why is Mrs. Chun here?"
Already?"
"Didn't it collapse before? I was worried that someone here might have been slightly injured, but I didn't go to see it, so I brought a doctor over to check everyone." Chengchun said softly, "I looked over there.
It seems it's not safe, so I won't go there, so as not to cause trouble to you. You can bring the person here, no matter whether he is injured or not, have a sip of herbal tea, and let our doctor take care of him!"
Xu Shi naturally didn't say anything, so he found a clean place, built a shed, and called all the people working on the dam over.
When those people saw Chengchun and the others, they were initially wary. It wasn't until they heard that they were here to deliver herbal tea that they smiled and walked over one after another.
Cheng Chun and the doctor helped check everyone's wounds. If there were any wounds, they would be cleaned and bandaged to ensure that they would not be infected as much as possible.
If you have nothing to do, you can go aside and ask for a bowl of mung bean soup or herbal tea with ice cubes. Working on the dam is the most sweltering heat, and drinking a bowl of mung bean soup will make you feel comfortable and make everyone smile.
While everyone was busy working, an older man came over. He walked up to Cheng Chun and asked cautiously: "Madam, are you in charge here?"
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Chengchun looked at the uncle and asked with a smile.
"I, I just want to ask, how are the people who suffered the landslide a few days ago now?" As soon as the uncle finished speaking, the people around him fell silent for a moment, and everyone listened to Chengchun's answer with their ears pricked up.
"We have arranged for people to take care of them, hired the best doctors, and used the best medicines. We will definitely try our best to cure them. If there is any inconvenience in the future, the court will also find ways to compensate them.
, I will never ignore them." Cheng Chun specially amplified his voice and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask these ladies who came with us, they all help us take care of the injured!"
The uncle's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled naively: "I, I was just asking!"
"It doesn't matter. If you feel uneasy, you can go and have a look. You are all working for the imperial court and you are injured. How could the imperial court ignore you?" Cheng Chun comforted with a smile.
